Thanks for the kind words guys. I am just like the rest of you.....a hardcore car enthusiast. The only difference between us is that I get to play with and tune them for a living. I am sure that whoever has met me can understand my passion for cars and most importantly my clients! Educating them so they can understand the basis behind performance tuning and to help them make the best decision for themselves. Most of time though they say"What would you do if it was your car?" and I always try to develop a tuning program to suit them and not me. If it was up to me I would go "balls to the walls" but some clients just want their car to sound better and perform better and that is what I do.
Rob should be here in a little while so we can take his 535i to the next level in performance tuning!

Thanks again to all of you. YOU are why I do this!

We are getting 35hp/16tq with the new M5 software. With pulleys and the ECU tune we are getting approximately 65hp/40tq and that is with no exhaust work yet. With the M5 you can get your drive line loss to between 1% to 3% with exhaust, filters, pulleys and ECU. We are getting approximately 485-495hp at the wheels with a complete tuning package.

Bruce,
This is the first I've heard of you. It took awhile to get the jist of what C's bimmer was talking about in this thread. Although I reside in MD, I still get up to Bellmore every now and then to visit family. Considering the YAHOOS down here, I'm going to have to get any work done up in NY. I thnk I've done as much as I can do to my 05 530i as I can. Sprintbooster added along with a CAI soon, now I'll have to try the ECU remap. Can you do this, and how long would it take? I'll let you know when I'll be in the area next time.

I taught Jasper White everything he knows. Actually, funny story... Was in Baltimore last year visiting a client. Had about 45 minutes after my meeting and the Amtrak heading back to NY. I'll preface by saying that I am a die hard seafood fanatic. DIE HARD! Anyway, I was with one of my sales guys and I made him go with me to a crab house. I told the waitress I had 30 minutes, wanted a dozen jumbo's and had to bolt right after. Took the jacket off, tie off, cuff links out, sleeves up, bibs everywhere...crabs arrived. I went to town faster than ever before. I think I set a new world record. Finished up, cleaned up, put myself back together and made the 1:43pm Acela back to Penn.
